In 2025, Banner Health earned a spot on Fortune‘s “Best Workplaces In Health Care” list, based on direct employee feedback and a rigorous, independent analysis. The system’s strong employee retention is evidenced by a 14% voluntary turnover rate. Nearly 45% of the more than 60,000 employees have been with the organization at least five years. Banner provides mental health support along with on-site and virtual counseling, resulting in below industry average clinician burnout. Employee-focused compensation and benefits options include flexible hours, 401k matching, paid time-off and salary packages, and support for prospective parents that includes fertility treatment coverage and 100% paid maternity short-term disability. Through Banner’s “My Well-Being” program, more than 8,300 team members earned free dental, vision and medical coverage. Banner embraces a “One Team” culture, with more than 2,100 employees participating in Banner’s eight team member resource groups to celebrate diverse cultures. New nurses are welcomed with innovative “new nurse experience” and simulation center programs. Nearly 41,000 employees participated in the 2025 “VOICE” survey, where 85% said they feel a sense of belonging, 89% said their leaders value their input and perspective, and 91% said their leaders care for employees as people. In response to employee feedback, Banner offers programs that support continuing education, career services and advising, skills-based leadership development, an executive program for top talent and on-the-job training.
